Danh ngôn của Mary Oliver (Sứ mệnh: 3)

When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that.
It's very important to write things down instantly, or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something, I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
We all have a hungry heart, and one of the things we hunger for is happiness. So as much as I possibly could, I stayed where I was happy.
One thing I do know is that poetry, to be understood, must be clear.
I had a very dysfunctional family, and a very hard childhood. So I made a world out of words. And it was my salvation.
Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth.
Poetry is meant to be heard.
